Rohan Single Gives Mets Thrilling 3-2 Win
HYANNIS - Yes, the Hyannis Mets do still remember how to play baseball. Following a week that included four consecutive rainouts, the Mets needed a two-out ninth-inning single from Eddie Rohan (Winthrop) to complete a 3-2 come-from-behind victory against the Cotuit Kettleers. With the win, the Mets (4-4) have now won three straight games and are tied for second in the Western Division.
Entering the top of the ninth inning with the score deadlocked at two, Dustin Harrington's (East Carolina) walk set the stage for Rohan's game-winning hit. After Harrington advanced to second on a wild pitch, Rohan, who entered the game as a pinch hitter in the fifth, lined a single to left-center field, scoring Harrington as the Hyannis dugout emptied to meet the go-ahead run at home plate. Rohan's single was the only hit Cotuit reliever Ben Rowen allowed in his four innings of work.
Hyannis pitcher Kevin Brandt (East Carolina) picked up the win, along with multiple huge outs in his two and two-thirds innings. Brandt produced a much-needed double-play ground out to end the seventh inning with the Kettleers still looking for the go-ahead run. In the eighth, Brandt recieved the defensive support all pitchers dream of. Mets' Catcher Kenny Swab (Young Harris) threw out Cody Stanley trying to steal second and with two outs, second baseman Nick Crawford (UAB) gunned down pinch-runner Mike Nesseth at the plate to end the inning. Then in the ninth, Brandt struck out the final two hitters of the game with Cotuit having a runner in scoring position.
Hyannis originally tied the game in the fifth inning on Trent Whitehead's (East Carolina) sacrifice fly and a Ryan Cuneo (Delaware) single. Cody Hawn (Tennessee) contributed two hits to the Mets' offense, including a double in the fourth inning.
Jay Brown (South Carolina) and Dallas Gallant (Sam Houston) also pitched for Hyannis. Brown started the game and gave up two runs in five innings. Gallant pitched a scoreless inning and a third and has now allowed only one run this season in eight innings of relief.
The Mets will be back in action Friday night at McKeon Park at 7 p.m. against Harwich.
